How to modify share permission using C#?

Question

I am a newbie trying to write a C# app to change share permission. Can someone shine some light which class in the .Net FW I should use? I have tried to use System.ManagementServices (using WMI), but the object structure is just too different as WMI use GetSecurityDescriptor method which I can’t find within the .Net FW. Should I use ADSI class (System.DirectoryServices)? Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

Hi I'm also trying to modify the share permission using C#. Did you fing something? The code below (WMI) permits to share a folder but with full control cause the Access parameters is set to null: System.Management.ManagementScope sc = null; ConnectionOptions co = null; sc = new ManagementScope(@\ROOT\CIMV2 co); sc.Connect(); ManagementBaseObject inParams = null; ManagementClass classObj = new ManagementClass(sc new ManagementPath(Win32_Share) null); inParams = classObj.GetMethodParameters(Create); inParams[Access] = null;// default Security descriptor used //inParams[Description] = Shared; //inParams[MaximumAllowed] = 10; inParams[Name] = Shared; //inParams[Password] = password; inParams[Path] = @c:\Temp; inParams[Type] = 0; // Disk drive 0 print queue 1 ManagementBaseObject outParams = classObj.InvokeMethod(Create inParams null);
